That was fast!

Our youngest granddaughter, Charleighj has become my most frequent scrapbook subject. First of all. she is adorable; but probably most importantly, her Mama takes lots of photos and shares them. Last week she turned seven months old -- already! Her first year is flying by.

I documented it with a sketch ftom Sketches in Thyme and the lovely Aptil main kit, embellishment and patterned paper add ons from Citrus Twist Kits, This is the sketch:

And this is my layout. I used three 3 x 4-inch photos to accommodate the pictures that I had.

About Me

For those of you who don't "know" me, I'm an avid scrapbooker as well as a wife, mother of four, grandmother of nine (and counting!), and retired newspaper writer and public relations professional. I'm a native Illinois girl but moved to Colorado in November 2015 with my husband of 33 years, Mike, and my mother.
I scrapbook because I feel it's important to chronicle my family's daily lives as well as the "big events", and also as a form of artistic expression.
Our four children all are married with families, careers, mortgages and lives of their own. They're all back in the Midwest and we don't get to see each other as much as we would like, so photos and videos are important ways to share events in each others' lives.
